THEY HAVE GONE TO DOTHAN - Loosed For Purpose Series 007
Genesis 37:15, 17, KJV
"15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? 17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan."
You will be saved from wandering about and wasting useful time that should count for you. A hand will point to where destiny will happen for you. God is interested in saving your youth. As such, He'll put materials, persons, institutions and even information where you utmostly need them in order to direct you after your objective in this life while saving your time.
Jacob sends Joseph on the errand of checking on his brethren and bringing back report to him. Joseph would have wasted much time wandering here and there looking for them if not for the timely appearance of a stranger on the scene who asked him what he was looking for and gave him answer on where they had gone. In his word, he says, " they have departed hence, for I heard them say, let us go to Dothan..." Yet, Joseph keeps merrygorounding around in Sheckem.
Joseph has an address at hand. It is for Sheckem but relocation and change of a sort had happened without his knowledge. Yet, he needs to connect with his pursuit - his brothers. How will this be possible if not for the sight and voice that appears to interrogate him on what he looks for and to deliver same solution to him?
The date, encounter and meet you're planning for will happen in Dothan. It has been shifted and rescheduled there yet God is still committed to taking you there. At every critical juncture, you'll always encounter those who'll serve as signpost to directing you for safe arrival to your destination. In tracing the biography of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God through a biographical movie of his that I had watched; it was told how as a young chap he departed in search of his parents in the farm. Yet, he didn't know where specifically. He could have sincerely gotten lost in the jungle. By divine providence however, a strange dog guided him to where they were. The parents themselves were afraid and also shocked receiving this august visitor who they couldn't trace how he made such a journey to the farm he had never been before. However, he tells his story and his parents see a divine hand supervising the events around his life. Even when they requested to see the strange dog, it was nowhere to be found anymore. To an extent, his parents believed that was not an accidental save but something supernatural helping him out and guiding him on his journey.
The same happened to Joseph here. Don't forget that his time nears when he must be sent ahead of his brothers into Egypt. His ride in the Ishmeelites who'll take him there awaits him. He must not miss them. So, God moves his father to send him on that errand like Jesse was moved to commission and deploy David to the battle field (as we saw yesterday). The answer like David rightly gave was, "is there not a cause?" There's a reason for such deployment. The journey of Joseph to Egypt might not have been possible if he never made it to Dothan but supernaturally to me, God set a landmark signpost to redirect him non stop to Dothan where he'll be thrown in a well and then sold off - that the dreams of destiny he had had might come to pass one day.
Your ride is here and if it is, nothing shall stop you from taking it. God will put provision and guided hands on your path to guide you on. Until you get to where you'll board the next transport, you'll keep meeting, hearing and seeing a presence saying, "they have gone to Dothan, for I heard them say so." You won't be stranded in Sheckem. What you're looking for is rightly what you'll see. If it is still in your front, God will sponsor you on until you make arrival and meet with destiny. Your years, life and time shall be saved. God will put for you in different places those who'll hasten your steps to destiny. You won't spend your days on a job and in an institution where destiny won't happen for you when there's Dothan in front of you. Providence will make men appear for you that weren't there before. They'll be so well sited that it's when you need help they'll pop up. They'll look like they've been programmed, planned and planted to emerge from the belly of the morning or day to help you that rightly. This timely provision includes angels who will make debut appearances for you when you need a straightaway help to find the way and connect with your goal. Did you not read, "on their hands they'll bear you up lest you dash your foot on a stone" (Psalm 91:12). You'll be saved from fallen down; you'll be saved from all embarrassments. It might have been planned to happen but you'll always witness a great save for your destiny fulfilment purpose. Your time is in God's hands and it shall not be wasted.
PRAYER. I shall be sponsored on and on by the invisible hand of God until I arrive at destination. I shall go on every journey and become everything in God's mind.
